THE ANASON FAMILY IN ROGALAND COUNTY, NORWAY AND JUNEAU COUNTY, WISCONSIN BY LAWRENCE W. ONSAGER THE LEMONWEIR VALLEY PRESS Berrien Springs, Michigan and Mauston, Wisconsin 2013 ANASON FAMILY INTRODUCTION The Anason family has its roots in Rogaland County, in western Norway. Western Norway is the area which had the greatest emigration to the United States. The County of Rogaland, formerly named Stavanger, lies at Norway’s southwestern tip, with the North Sea washing its fjords, beaches and islands. The name Rogaland means “the land of the Ryger,” an old Germanic tribe. The Ryger tribe is believed to have settled there 2,000 years ago. The meaning of the tribal name is uncertain. Rogaland was called Rygiafylke in the Viking age. The earliest known members of the Anason family came from a region of Rogaland that has since become part of Vest-Agder County.

  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.

  • Eurovision Choir 2019: Press Handbook
    PRESS HANDBOOK Eurovision Choir 2019 Press, Delegation & Production Handbook DISTRIBUTION: Press, Delegations, Production Dear friends, It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the second edition of Eurovision Choir, here in Gothenburg. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be involved in the production during Latvian Television’s first edition in Riga hold many fond memories of launching Eurovision’s newest competition format. The show was spectacular, the choirs stunning and the music sublime. But what remains most strongly in my memory is the unique atmosphere of the backstage area around the show. I recall a festive atmosphere, almost a party, as nine choirs traded songs across the dressing room walls. And indeed, this is a festival – a festival of the beauty and diversity of choral singing in Europe, and of what can be achieved by joining our voices. So it seems true – singing is good for the soul. Thanks to those of you who have made the journey to attend Eurovision Choir 2019 in Gothenburg. Good luck to all the choirs taking part and enjoy the show! Jon Ola Sand Executive Supervisor, Eurovision Song Contest & Eurovision Live Events.

  • Glaciotectonic Structure and Genesis of the Herdla Moraines, Western Norway
    Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway JAMES S. ABER & INGE AARSETH Aber, J. S. & Aarseth, 1.: Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 68, pp. 99-106. Oslo 1988. ISSN 0029-196X. At its type locality, glaciomarine sediment of the Herdla Moraines was deformed and consolidated by overriding ice. Two phases of moraine development took place in conjunction with ice movement coming first from the east-northeast and later from the southeast. The early phase is related to development of a local ice dome on Stølsheimen during the middle Younger Dryas (about 10,500 BP), when the ice sheet reached its late glacial maximum thickness in the region. The ice sheet then thinned rapidly, due to climatic amelioration and increased calving, and shifted to southeasterly movement at Herdla. Most glaciotectonic disturbance and consolidation of sediment at Herdla happened during this late phase, perhaps as a result of a glacier surge along Herdlafjord. The glaciotectonic structures at Herdla are local in character and cannot be used for regional correlation of glacial advances in western Norway. J. S. Aber, Earth Science Department, Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, 66801, USA; l. Aarseth, Universitetet i Bergen, Geologisk Institutt, Avd. B. A/legt, 41. N-5007 Bergen, Norway. Y ounger Dry as moraines of western Norway Aarseth & Mangerud (1974) defined the Herdla Moraines as a morphostratigraphic unit with a type locality at Herdla island (Fig. 1). Sediments of the Herdla Moraines are part of a conspicuous system of ice marginal deposits of Younger Dryas age (10,000-11,000 BP) that has been mapped around the periphery of southern and western Norway (Mangerud et al.
